Lovettsville's Eighth Annual Christkindlmarkt

Come out to the nationally and regionally acclaimed traditional European Christmas market for all ages!

Come to the Loudoun Valley German Society’s annual traditional European Christmas market in the German Settlement of Lovettsville on Saturday and Sunday, December 5th and 6th, 2015 to enjoy one of the nationally acclaimed “top 10 German Christmas markets” in the United States. The market features over 25 local artists and vendors supplying you that perfect holiday gift, six 2-hour sets of live German/Austrian/Celtic Christmas music, traditional Christkindlmarkt foods and spirits, free children’s activities provided by the German language students from Woodgrove and Harmony Middle Schools, fresh Christmas trees and greenery, and visits by the German traditionally attired St. Nicholas of Myra and his cranky Alpine sprite cohort Krampus. Become part of this tradition which provides you a nostalgic and stress-free environment to check off your holiday shopping list as well as supports Lovettsville’s unique 250+ years of German heritage. The hours of market are 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM and will once again take place inside the Lovettsville Game Protective Association’s hall located at 16 South Berlin Turnpike in Lovettsville, VA (15 minutes from Leesburg, VA and Frederick, MD). The admission fee of $3 for visitors 13+ years of age is good for both days of the market and residual net earnings will support local youth and cultural nonprofits and activities which the Society sponsors.
